Still until we can get the guy (whose name escapes me at the moment) to say if I`m right or not this is all guesswork.


No...the BEL story was written by a man who had an interview with :V: to be a storywriter... in no way or form was it the story planned for FS3 .  Ascraeus said as much when he was on the VBB.

Species stuff is very hardcoded right now. As far as FS2 knows, there are 3 possible species period. Replacing that with a table system would probably be a tough job as you would have to go through a lot of code to make sure you find all the species related code and fix it for the table system.

And the Robotech MOD has the Zentradi, which aren't exactly new since they, along with Robotech, predate FS2. ;)

The larger problem [V] spoke of is nothing more than our own inherently destuctive nature.

There - now try and make that into a campaign ;).


they'd appear right in our homes then :p

Nope :D. Shivans are the result of our destructive natures combining with Subspatial energy, hence their affinity for that medium, and their advanced subspace knowledge and tech. \

Yeah, but you couldn't exactly scare anyone with them... in Scotland you get used to angry black clouds (of rain) very quickly.
